correction, total commander will not delete the pim file.

i tried making a blank pim file using windows and renamed it pim.vol and replaced the one on the phone with that one but it seems to have thrown everything off in my phone (nfsfans rom). after that i had to do a hardreset.

there are other options but it seems like the fastest way to do this is mentioned above.

lol it wasn't that bad for me, i was expecting it to just clear my contacts, not require a hard reset but i have everything on an exchange server and just had to do a reflash this morning so nothing was really lost. but thanks for the thanks!

Sure there is.

While in contacts, Menu/Select contacts/Select All

Not all roms are the same....People seem to forget this when answering people's questions....Different rom chefs include different options in their roms and delete/don't include certain options.

You should be able to just rename the file, and then delete it...soft reset, and then it should be a done deal. Keywords should be...
Sometimes you have to go to properties and make sure some of the attributes are turned off.

Are you able to 'reflash' the unit restoring an image? All installed applications, settings, contacts...?? An actual image backup? If so, tell me more...

I ended up installing SKTools and that allowed me to delete them in one swipe. Thank god for 3rd party tools. Can't expect much from M$.
